Ed's POV

I grab the book and walk to my room inspecting the back and front if it that had stickers and writing on it.

  When i sit in my bed i slowly open the book when it opens i see beautiful cursive writing in navy blue ink. I skim over it admiring her perfect hand writing.

  I take in a sharp breath and start to read the page:

Im not really into that dear shit so im just gonna start. Anyways my life has taken a turn i guess you could say it like that well my mom got into a car accident it was bad shes going to be in the hospital for a bit which kinda upsets me because she was always the one to give me advice but im not the kind of person to show weakness. When i talked to my counselor she asked me about it but i just shrugged it off she told me my depression was getting worse the meds  weren't working obviously. I guess im just a hopeless case.

I don't know what to say i really don't this was a long time ago so maybe her mom is better and she doesn't have depression anymore?  She looks so happy and bright when i see her everyday i just don't believe it.

   Surprised and shocked i put down the book  and turn around setting my head on my pillow and dreaming of the mystery that is Joi.

  The ringing of my alarm clock wakes me up as my eyes flutter open to another day at work.

Getting ready I comb my fingers through my ginger hair, taking in a deep breath as I put on the green Starbucks shirt finally ready.

~~~~~
I walk into Starbucks to see people in line and rushing out the doors with coffee in there hands. Suddenly my boss walks up to me with a stressed look on his face "your working behind the counters today Niall will show you how to do it. Go. Now." He says pointing at the young smiling lad that's filling cups.

I slowly walk up to him making him turn towards me as he puts a lid on a cup, sticking the receipt to the cup as he sets it on the table and rings a bell.

"Your Ed I'm guessing" his thick Irish accent rings in my ears. I nod my head as he turns around gesturing for me to follow him.

"These are the instructions as to how to make whatever the customer orders so all you do is grab a receipt look at what they ordered and make it from this book".

    he says gesturing to the instructions as he continues talking. "After you make it, snap a lid on it, stick the receipt to the cup set it on this table and ring the bell. Got it?" He says smiling making me nod as he takes his aprin  off and goes on break.


I turn around and grab a receipt making the coffee and ringing the bell.

After I finish a few orders I realize it's not that hard until I hear a yell "where's the pumpkin spice latte! Hurry it up!" Making me panic and hurry through the book looking for pumpkin spice latte.

   When I find it I turn on the machine and when it's almost to the top I press the button to make it stop but it keeps filling.

"Shit" I mutter as the cup starts to over flow I get another cup trying to fill it.

Soon the floor is covered in coffee when I scream "Niall!" As I walk through the coffee and open the door the coffee soon spreads to the outside of the back room.

       i panic looking around I see him as his eyes go wide I try to run towards him when my feet slip and I fall flat on my back and into the coffee making a splash as the coffee gets in my hair and on my face I spot none other than

Joi.
